Screen Locks

Six different types of screen locks are available on the mobile device: the Samsung lock feature Swipe; and five security lock features, Face unlock, Face and voice, Pattern, PIN, and Password. To access the screen lock options for your device, from the Home screen, touch Menu > Settings > Lock screen > Screen lock.

Samsung Lock Feature

When you select the Samsung lock feature, Swipe (or the With swipe lock option), additional features become available to you by opening Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen options.

You can modify the following settings to customize your lock screen:

Shortcuts: Touch the slider to turn the shortcuts on the lock screen on or off. Touch Shortcuts to modify the shortcuts shown on your lock screen. To open the shortcuts from the lock screen, touch the shortcut and swipe it in any direction. Your device's screen will unlock and your device will open the application.

Information ticker: Touch the slider to turn the information ticker on or off. Touch Information ticker to select the information that will scroll across the lock screen.

Clock: Mark this option to show the clock on the lock screen.

Dual clock: Touch the slider to turn this feature on and show a dual clock when roaming outside your home city. Your device will show the time in your home city and in your current location. Touch Dual clock to select your home city.

Weather: Touch the slider to turn on weather. Touch Weather to select the settings your device should use when displaying weather on the lock screen. You can select the Unit of measure and define the Auto refresh settings.

Help text: Mark this option to show helpful tips on using the lock screen.

Wake up in Lock screen: Mark this option to turn on the ability to wake up your device using Samsung S Voice™ commands selected in the Set wake-up command menu.

The Swipe lock feature is great for keeping your device from making accidental calls or opening applications while in your pocket, but it provides no additional security. Select Swipe from the Screen lock menu. When your screen is locked, touch the screen and swipe your finger in any direction to unlock your device.

You can increase your mobile device's security by creating a screen unlock pattern (disabled by default). When it is enabled, you must draw the correct unlock pattern on the screen to unlock and regain access to your mobile device.

Touch Pattern.

Read the information on the screen about Securing your device and touch Next. This screen is shown only the first time you create a pattern.

Draw the screen unlock pattern by connecting at least four dots in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal direction. Lift your finger from the screen when finished and touch Continue.

When prompted, draw the pattern again, and then touch Confirm.

Set a backup PIN code you can use to access your device if you forget the pattern, and touch Continue.

Changing Your Screen Lock Setting

Enter the requested security unlock information, and touch Next. For Swipe lock, you will not be asked for any information.

Select the security lock feature setting you wish to change and follow the steps for that feature.

Configuring Additional Screen Lock Settings

Once you enable certain screen lock features, additional screen lock settings are available in the Security settings menu.

With Swipe Lock

The With swipe lock feature will allow you to use the additional lock screen features available when you choose Swipe as your lock method in conjunction with your security lock feature. Mark the feature to turn the option on.

Improve Facial Recognition

The "improve facial recognition" function will allow you to capture your face in different lighting conditions. This will improve your device's ability to correctly recognize your face.

Presence check

Mark the Presence check option to require you to blink while unlocking. This prevents someone from holding up a photograph to unlock the device.

Make Pattern Visible

The Make pattern visible setting controls how the pattern screen lock feature will behave. Removing the check mark prevents the unlock pattern from displaying on the unlock screen when you are unlocking your device. This decreases the chance that someone may see your unlocking pattern.

Lock Automatically

Select the timeout setting for your screen lock. You can choose from Immediately or up to 30 minutes.

Lock Instantly with Power Key

Mark the Lock instantly with power key option to lock your screen immediately when you press the power key.

Vibrate on Screen Tap

The Vibrate on screen tap setting enables haptic (vibration) feedback when you are unlocking your device.

Owner information

Touch Owner information and enter text to display on the lock screen. Uncheck Show owner info on lock screen to hide the owner information.
